Awaken Your Creative Intelligence. Get out of your head & into action with Improv. Discover bold ideas you couldn’t reach from behind a desk
About this Event

What happens when you stop trying to have the perfect idea, and start playing with the ridiculous ones?

Improv for Innovators is a playful workshop designed to shake up predictable thinking and wake up your creative intelligence.

Through applied improv activities, you’ll experiment and discover ideas spontaneously.

There are no scripts, no slides and [definitely] no pressure to be funny.

Simply get out of your head, and see where your imagination takes you!



Who this is for:
  • Innovators, entrepreneurs and seriously playful humans
  • Creatives who feel creatively stuck
  • Leaders and teams navigating uncertainty
  • Overthinkers ready to loosen their grip on the “right” answer
  • Anyone who wants fresher ideas without another brainstorming meeting
  • Improv beginners—no stage experience or comedy skills required



Benefits:
  • Escape autopilot and surprise your own brain
  • Generate ideas before your inner critic can reject them
  • Become more comfortable with uncertainty and spontaneity
  • Build on ideas instead of blocking them
  • Strengthen listening, collaboration and creative confidence
  • Reconnect with curiosity, experimentation and play



Learning outcomes:
  • Interrupt familiar patterns and explore unexpected possibilities
  • Use applied improv tools to unlock divergent thinking
  • Generate multiple ideas without judging them too quickly
  • Respond more confidently when plans change
  • Build momentum by saying “yes, and” to other people’s ideas
  • Turn mistakes, pressure and uncertainty into creative fuel



ABOUT YOUR HOST


Susan Zheng, Improv Teacher

What if our path to authenticity is not in perfection, but in using our mistakes as a launching pad for bursts of transformation?


Ever since my Improv journey as a student started in 2017, I was immediately hooked! It may have been the endorphins and serotonin you get by playing Improv games, because I can’t remember the last time I felt so seen, so present, and so alive!


Whilst my 9-5pm job involved designing coaching and training courses for professional development, I’d wondered if Improv – an art form traditionally used for acting and comedy – could be applied to help people achieve personal development.


After experimenting and running courses such as: Improv for Introverts, Improv for Dating and Relationships, Improv for the Workplace…

Turns out you can!

Improv is a practical tool that can be used for enhancing self-awareness, connecting with others, and aligning with your deepest desires.


I am now the Founder and Director of Improv Life Lessons and on a mission to help individuals realise the transformative power of Improv!

Join me, and let's improvise our way to personal growth and meaningful connections!
